TicketSignup now offers simple, transparent ticket fees of $0.40 per ticket, plus standard credit card processing.
This is a major pricing update, and it changes what event organizers can expect from ticketing software.
At $0.40 per ticket, events get a fully featured platform that includes a branded website, unlimited email marketing, patent pending calendar based ticketing, and a free on-site mobile check-in app. There are no premium tiers required to unlock support or core functionality, and free events and tickets are free.
Lower fees matter. What you get at that price matters more.
Simple Pricing You Can Understand Immediately
You do not need a spreadsheet to understand your ticket fees.
- $0.40 per ticket
- 2.9% + $0.30 standard credit card processing
- Free tickets are free
That’s the pricing. It scales cleanly from small to high volume events, and from low to high priced tickets.
A Clear Comparison of Ticket Fees
Below is a simplified comparison of publicly listed pricing as of March 2026.
| Platform | Ticket Fee | Processing Fee | Website | Sales Tax Remittance | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TicketSignup | $.40 per Ticket | 2.9% + $.30 | Free | Free | Yes |
| Eventbrite | $1.79 + 3.7% per ticket | 2.9% | $$ | Event Page Only | Yes |
| Fare Harbor | 6% | 1.9% + $.30 | Free (basic) | $$$ | No |
| Beyonk | 4-5% | 2.9% + $.30 | $$$ | $$$ | No |

What the Difference Looks Like at Scale
Here is a simple example that turns fee structures into dollars.
Scenario: 5,000 tickets sold at $30 each, assuming 3 tickets per cart.
| Platform | Total Fees | TicketSignup Difference |
|---|---|---|
| TicketSignup | $6,908 | – |
| Eventbrite | $18,850 | +$11,942 |
| Fare Harbor | $12,350 | +$5,442 |
| Beyonk (5%) | $12,350 | +$5,442 |
| TicketSpice | $9,800 | +$2,892 |
| TicketLeap | $12,500 | +$5,592 |
| HauntPay | $10,875 | +$3,967 |
Note: This example compares published fee structures using a consistent assumption of 3 tickets per cart for any per transaction fixed fees. It does not include additional fees for paid features like Email and Websites as noted in the previous table.
40 Cents Per Ticket Includes the Full Platform
At 40 cents per ticket, TicketSignup includes the platform features many ticketing companies charge extra for or don’t offer at all.
Every event includes:
- A fully customizable, branded event website with domain and subdomain support
- Free and unlimited email marketing
- A free mobile ticket app for on site check in and operations
- Patent-pending calendar-based ticketing for bookings, admissions, and seasonal timed entry events
- Real time reporting, analytics, integrations, and participant management
- Built in sales tax calculation and remittance
- 100% US based support from a team that works directly with event organizers
You are not buying a ticket widget. You are getting a full event platform.
Absorb Fees, Pass Fees, or Split Them
TicketSignup gives you control over how fees are handled.
You can:
- Absorb fees to keep checkout simple
- Pass fees to attendees to reduce event costs
- Split fees so the event covers half and the attendee covers half
Lower ticket fees also give events more flexibility in how prices and fees are displayed at checkout.
Set Your Own Fees and Keep the Difference
We are also expanding capabilities that let events set their own per ticket fee. That means you can choose to increase the per ticket fee above $0.40 and keep the difference.
This is especially useful if you want to keep your attendee facing fees consistent with what you used previously, while improving your platform and retaining more revenue.
Built to Be Reliable, Supported, and Getting Better Fast
TicketSignup is 100% employee owned and US based. We are not built around acquisitions or fee expansion. We are built around product quality, service, and long term relationships with event organizers.
Reliability matters when tickets are on sale and people are checking in on site. We have shipped thousands of software releases with minimal disruption, including more than 2,000 releases with just 4 minutes of total downtime since 2015.
That pace is accelerating. We are investing heavily in how quickly we can ship improvements and new features, while keeping the platform stable and support responsive.
